Type 2 Diabetes Management Class

Do you have Type 2 Diabetes or know someone who has it?

Type 2 diabetes develops over a long period of time (years). During this period of time insulin resistance starts, this is where the insulin is increasingly ineffective at managing the blood glucose levels. As a result of this insulin resistance, the pancreas responds by producing greater and greater amounts of insulin, to try and achieve some degree of management of the blood glucose levels (Diabetes Australia, 2018).

Happy Occupational Therapy Week!

What exactly does an Occupational Therapist do?

This is a question that we often get asked at Complete Rehab.

Occupational Therapists improve the general functionality of people’s lives. Working with individuals who have conditions that are mentally, physically, developmentally, socially or emotionally disabling, their goal to help patients develop, recover, improve, as well as maintain the skills needed for daily living and working.

This week we will be focusing on all things OT and how they improve the every day lives of so many people.
